The first of June already!! time is really going fast this year and I am very busy. Off to teach in Boston next week for Quilters Connection, teaching a two day Artful log cabin and a lecture and a book signing at their show. Then I drive to Greenville to teach a week long workshop on Fractured Landscapes! Haven’t taught that one in a long time but it is making a comeback and I am excited. Then home for a few days then out to the Vermont Quilt Festival where I am having a show of my life work as a quiltmaker. I will hang 45 of my quilts, old to new. If you are in the area please stop by and say hi!! Then a brake and go to my family reunion at Trinity Lake. I always look forward to that.

This past weekend my sisters and I got together to make patriotic quilts for our Veterans.

We give them to vets that we know and also the vets that are affiliated with the wonderful program at College of the Redwoods with Crystal Morse. She is awesome and so caring for their needs and she often feels they need a quilt!! and we handle that for her.

Have a great summer

Just found this great article about paint brushes that I thought I would share   http://wonderstreet.com/blog/choosing-the-best-paintbrush

Hard to believe that January is already over and we are zooming through February. Big teaching time for me. So I am zooming as well. Off to teach at the Beach City Quilters in California then home for a few days then a whole week at Asilomar by the Sea in Monterey California, one of my favorite spots for teaching. Such a perfect setting with walks on the beach in the mornings and great classes during the day. and the shopping is great with an on site quilt shop with over 600 bolts of fabrics brought to us by Carolie Hensley from her Cotton Patch Quilt Shop! Then home for just one day then flying to Sitges Spain to have an exhibition and teach a few classes, I love Spain and the Spanish Ladies!! Then home again for a week then an Artful Log Cabin class at the before mentioned Cotton Patch in Lafayette California. Noticing a lot of California classes! Moving back to California has been good for me. I love it here. Then in April I run my Alegre Retreat in Gateway Colorado, go to the web site to learn more about that venue and maybe join us for a really great time. www.alegreretreat.com. Then April ends up with judging then a week of teaching at the big Paducah Quilt show. Then I hope to have a few week brake before I start again. Please check out my itinerary page to see if I will be teaching near you and we could do a class together. until then happy stitching.
love and hugs
